Skate 2 (stylized as skate 2) is the second installment in the Skate series. It is a skateboarding extreme sports game set in an open world environment and played from a third-person perspective. The game takes place in the fictional city of New San Vanelona, which tries its hardest to stop skaters, unlike the first installment in the Skate series. With a changed city, a hope to revive skating, and security everywhere, the gameplay provides quite a different feel to the first game. New San Vanelona is made up of five districts, The Res, Waterfront, Cougar Mountain, Old Town and Downtown, Although the overall look of the city is very urban (except Downtown) each district has its own unique designs and monuments. Downtown is full of slick ledges and rails, while the Upper Res is full of banks and pools to empty. Cougar Mountain is the coolest; it is home to a huge dam that has to be emptied, Danny Way's Mega Compound that is big and has lots of room to nail those hard to make tricks and grabs.
Several notable skateboarding professionals appear throughout the game, such as Danny Way, Darren Navarette, Terry Kennedy, Eric Koston, Chris Cole, Pat Duffy, and Marc Johnson.
Configuration
Options that deviate from RPCS3's default settings and provide the best experience with this title are listed below.
CPU configuration
| Setting | Option | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| SPU block size | Safe | Mega seems a bit slower with more fluctuation in FPS. |
GPU configuration
| Setting | Option | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Anti-aliasing | Disabled | Significantly improves render blur. |
| ZCULL accuracy | Relaxed | Improves performance, no known issues. |
| Write color buffers | On | Fixes excessive brightness. |
| Multithreaded RSX | On | Improves performance. |
Known Issues
Objects can fall through the ground randomly - Issue 11936
When in-game, objects such as rubbish bins can fall through the ground then appear in the normal position and fall through the ground again repeatedly. A workaround for it is to use ASMJIT for SPU Decoding, you can also try testing on RPCS3 builds older than May 2022 as according to user reports this regression only popped up sometime around that month. Rebooting the game will also fix it.
Special Notes
Netplay testing
For the complete list of games tested with RPCN, please check the RPCN Compatibility List.
